Erykah Badu
I grew up listening to old soul
Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu
I remember when I signed with Kedar Entertainment through Universal Records. It was my first record deal and it's the one I still have now. At that time, there had been a couple of opportunities I was almost given, but at the last minute the giver came back and told me it couldn't happen.

I love putting the music together. It's like art
Erykah Badu
Better think while it's still legal.
Erykah Badu
I don't read music or anything, so when I produce, I go basically by ear.
Erykah Badu
